7 Warning and Safety instructions This appliance conforms to current safety requirements. Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and damage to property. To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance, please read these instructions carefully before using it for the first time. They contain important notes on installation, safety, use and maintenance. Miele cannot be held liable for non-compliance with these instructions. Keep these instructions in a safe place and ensure that new users are familiar with the contents. Pass them on to any future owner. 7

8 Warning and Safety instructions Correct application This oven is designed for domestic use and for use in similar environments by guests in hotel or motel rooms, bed & breakfasts and other typical living quarters. This does not include common/ shared facilities or commercial facilities within hotels, motels or bed & breakfasts. The oven is not suitable for outdoor use. The oven is intended only to cook, bake, roast, grill, defrost, bottle and reheat food. Any other usage is at the owner's risk. Do not use the oven to store or dry items which could ignite easily. If such items were dried in the oven, the moisture in the item would evaporate causing it to dry out and even self-ignite. This oven is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are supervised whilst using it or have been given instruction concerning its use by a person responsible for their safety. They must be able to recognise the dangers of misuse. This oven is supplied with a special lamp to cope with particular conditions (e.g. temperature, moisture, chemical resistance, abrasion resistance and vibration). This special lamp must only be used for the purpose for which it is intended. It is not suitable for room lighting. 8

9 Safety with children Warning and Safety instructions Young children must not be allowed to use this appliance. Older children may only use the appliance when its operation has been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely, recognising the dangers of misuse. Cleaning work may only be carried out by older children under the supervision of an adult. Children should be supervised near the appliance. Ensure that they do not play with the appliance. Danger of suffocation! Children may be able to wrap themselves in packing material or pull it over their head with the risk of suffocation. Keep children away from any packing material. Danger of burning! Children's skin is far more sensitive to high temperatures than that of adults. Great care should be taken to ensure that children do not touch the appliance when it is being used. External parts of the oven such as the door glass, control panel and the vents become quite hot. Danger of injury! The maximum load capacity for the door is 8 kg. Children can hurt themselves on an open door. Ensure that children do not sit on or swing on the door. 9

10 Warning and Safety instructions Technical safety Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. Installation, maintenance work and repairs to electrical appliances must only be carried out by a Miele approved service technician. A damaged appliance is dangerous. Check it for any visible damage. Never install or attempt to use a damaged appliance. Reliable and safe operation of this oven can only be assured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply. Operating a damaged appliance can result in microwave leakage and present a hazard to the user. Do not use the appliance if: the door is warped, the door hinges are loose, holes or cracks are visible in the casing, the door, the door seal or the oven interior walls. The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing system. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is present and tested regularly and, where there is any doubt, the household wiring system should be inspected by a qualified electrician. Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply, make sure that the rating on the data plate (voltage and frequency) corresponds to that of the household supply. This data must correspond in order to avoid the risk of damage to the appliance. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt. Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by a multi-socket unit or an extension lead. These do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating). For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used when it has been built in. 10

11 Warning and Safety instructions This oven must not be installed and operated in mobile installations (e.g. on a ship). Tampering with electrical connections or components and mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause operational faults. Do not open the outer casing of the appliance. The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is not repaired by a Miele approved service technician. Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele spare parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used. If the oven is delivered without a mains connection cable, or if the mains connection cable is damaged, it must only be replaced by a Miele approved service technician with a specialist connection cable of type H 05 VV-F, available from Miele, (see "Electrical connection") in order to avoid a hazard. During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply, e.g. if the oven lighting is faulty (see "Problem solving guide"). It is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when: it is switched off at the mains circuit breaker, or it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn from the socket. Do not pull the mains connection cable but the mains plug to disconnect your appliance from the mains electricity supply. For the oven to function correctly, it requires a sufficient intake of cool air. Ensure the intake of cool air to the oven is not impaired (e.g. due to the installation of insulation material inside the housing unit). Furthermore, the incoming cool air must not be excessively heated by other heat sources (e.g. fuel furnaces). 11

12 Warning and Safety instructions If the oven is installed behind a furniture door, do not close the door while the oven is in operation. Heat and moisture would build up behind a closed furniture door, potentially causing damage to the oven, the furniture unit and the flooring. Wait until the oven has cooled down completely before closing the furniture door. 12

13 Warning and Safety instructions Correct use Danger of burning! The oven becomes hot when in use. Depending on the function being used, you could burn yourself on the heating elements, oven interior, cooked food or oven accessories. Wear oven gloves when placing food in the oven, turning or removing it and when adjusting oven shelves etc. in a hot oven. Do not use the oven to heat up the room. Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the appliance could catch fire. Oil and fat can ignite if overheated. Never leave the oven unattended when cooking with oil and fat. Do not use the oven for deep fat frying. Never use water to extinguish ignited oil or fat. Switch the oven off immediately and then suffocate the flames by keeping the oven door closed. Please be aware that durations when using microwave power are often considerably shorter when cooking, reheating and defrosting than when using functions without microwave power. Excessively long cooking times can lead to food drying out and burning or could even cause it to catch fire. Make sure you keep to recommended grilling times when using the grill. Do not use Microwave Solo for drying items such as flowers, herbs, bread or rolls. Never use functions with the grill for drying flowers or herbs. Use Fan Plus for these procedures and monitor the process carefully. If using alcohol in your recipes, please be aware that high temperatures can cause the alcohol to vaporise and even to ignite on the hot heating elements. 13

14 Warning and Safety instructions When using residual heat to keep food in the oven warm, the high humidity and amount of condensation in the oven can cause corrosion in the oven. The control panel, the worktop or the housing unit can also suffer damage. Always cover food when using the Microwave Solo function. Once food is cooked through, use a lower power level for continued cooking to reduce the amount of steam produced from the food. When using residual heat, do not switch the oven off. Instead set the temperature to the lowest setting and leave the oven on the selected function. The fan will then remain on automatically and dissipate the moisture. Food which is stored in the oven or left in it to be kept warm can dry out and the moisture released can lead to corrosion damage in the oven. Always cover food that is left in the oven to keep warm. A build-up of heat can cause damage to the enamel on the floor of the oven. When using Conventional Heat, Bottom Heat, Intensive Bake or Fan Plus, do not line the floor of the oven with anything, e.g. aluminium foil or so-called protective liners. Nor should you place roasting pans or glass trays directly on the oven floor. It is important that the heat is allowed to spread evenly throughout the food being cooked. This can be achieved by stirring and/or turning the food, and observing a sufficiently long standing time, which should be added to the time needed for cooking, reheating or defrosting. 14

15 Warning and Safety instructions When heating food and drinks using microwave power, remember that the heat is created in the food itself, and that the container will normally be cooler. The dish is only warmed by the heat of the food. Before serving, remember to allow a sufficient standing time and then always check the temperature of the food after taking it out of the oven. The temperature of the container is not an indication of the temperature of the food or liquid in it. This is particularly important when preparing food for babies, children, and the elderly or infirm. Shake or stir baby milk and food thoroughly after heating, and try it for temperature to ensure that it will not scald the baby. The oven is not suitable for cleaning or disinfecting items. Items can get extremely hot and there is a danger of burning when the item is removed from the appliance. Do not cook or reheat food or liquids in sealed containers, jars or bottles. With baby bottles, the screw top and teat must be removed. Otherwise pressure will build up which can cause the bottle or container to explode, posing a severe risk of injury. When boiling and in particular when re-heating liquids, milk, sauces etc., using microwave power without a boiling rod, the boiling point of the liquid may be reached without the production of typical bubbles. The liquid does not boil evenly throughout. This socalled 'boiling delay' can cause a sudden build up of bubbles when the container is removed from the oven or shaken. This can lead to the liquid boiling over suddenly and explosively. Danger of scalding and burning! The formation of bubbles can be so strong that the pressure forces the oven door open, with a danger of injury and damage. Before cooking or reheating, thoroughly stir the liquid. Then wait at least 20 seconds before removing the container from the oven. During cooking and reheating you can also place a glass rod or similar in the container and use as a boiling rod, if available. 15

16 Warning and Safety instructions Eggs can be cooked without their shells using microwave power only if the yolk membrane has been punctured several times first. The pressure could otherwise cause the egg yolk to explode. Eggs in their shells will explode if cooked with microwave power, even after taking them out of the oven. They can only be cooked in their shells using microwave heat in a specially designed egg-boiling device available from specialist shops. Hard-boiled eggs must not be reheated in the microwave oven either as they too will explode, even after taking them out of the oven. Food with a thick skin or peel, such as tomatoes, sausages, jacket potatoes and eggplants, should be pierced or cut in several places to allow steam to escape and prevent the food from bursting. To check food temperature, first interrupt the cooking process. Only use a thermometer specifically approved for food use to measure the temperature of the food. Do not use a thermometer containing mercury or liquid as these are not suitable for use with very high temperatures and break very easily. Do not use the oven to heat up cushions or pads filled with cherry kernels, wheat grains, lavender or gel, such as those used in aromatherapy. These pads can ignite when heated even after they have been removed from the oven. To avoid fuelling any flames, do not open the oven door if smoke occurs inside the appliance. Interrupt the process by switching the appliance off and disconnect it from the mains electricity supply. Do not open the door until the smoke has dispersed. 16

17 Warning and Safety instructions Dishes with hollow knobs or handles are not suitable for use with microwave power. Moisture which has gathered in the hollow recesses can cause pressure to build up and the item can explode. If the hollow recess is sufficiently ventilated, the item could be used. However, we recommend that you do not use such dishes in the oven. Fire hazard! Using Microwave Solo or Microwave combination programmes with plastic dishes which are not microwave safe can cause them to melt and damage the appliance. Do not use any containers or cutlery made from or containing metal, aluminium foil, lead crystal glassware, temperature-sensitive plastics, wooden utensils or cutlery, metal clips or plastic or paper covered wire ties. Do not use bowls with milled rims, or plastic pots with the foil lid only partially removed (see "Suitable containers for microwave use"). For functions without microwave power: plastic containers which are not suitable for use in an oven can melt at high temperatures and can even damage the oven or catch fire. Only use containers which are declared by the manufacturer as being suitable for use in an oven. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on use. Do not leave the microwave oven unattended when reheating or cooking food in disposable containers made of plastic, paper or other inflammable materials. Before using single-use containers, make sure they are suitable for use in microwave ovens (See "Containers suitable for microwave use - Plastics"). Do not reheat food in the oven in heat-retaining bags which are intended for use in normal ovens. These heat-retaining bags usually contain a thin layer of aluminium foil which reflects microwaves. This reflected energy can, in turn, cause the outer paper covering to become so hot that it ignites. 17

18 Warning and Safety instructions The oven can suffer damage when using Microwave Solo or Microwave combination programmes if it is empty or incorrectly loaded. For this reason, please do not use functions with microwave power to pre-heat crockery or to dry herbs. Instead use Fan Plus or Conventional Heat. Do not use the appliance to heat up or bottle food in sealed jars and tins. Pressure will build up inside them and they can explode causing damage to the appliance, as well as the risk of injury and scalding. Do not leave the oven door open unnecessarily as someone may trip over it or be injured by it. The oven door can support a maximum load of 8 kg. Do not lean or sit on an open oven door, or place heavy items on it. Also make sure that nothing can get trapped between the door and the oven cavity. This could damage the oven. For ovens with a stainless steel front: The coated stainless steel surface can be damaged by adhesives and will lose its protective effect against pollution. Do not adhere sticky notes, transparent tape, masking tape or other adhesives onto the stainless steel surface. The surface is susceptible to scratching. Even magnets can cause scratches. 18

19 Cleaning and care Warning and Safety instructions Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this oven. Pressurised steam could reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit. Scratches on the door glass can result in the glass breaking. Do not use abrasive cleaners, hard sponges, brushes or sharp metal tools to clean the door glass. Try to avoid the interior walls being splashed with food or liquids containing salt. If it does happen, wipe these away thoroughly to avoid corrosion on the stainless steel surface. In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and its surroundings clean at all times. Any damage caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the warranty. Accessories Use only genuine original Miele spare parts. If spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers are used, the warranty will be invalidated, and Miele cannot accept liability. Only use the Miele food probe supplied with this oven. If it is faulty, it must only be replaced with a suitable original Miele food probe. The plastic on the food probe can melt at very high temperatures. Do not use the food probe when grilling (exception: Fan Grill ). If you are not using the food probe, do not store it in the oven. 19

20 Caring for the environment Disposal of the packing material The transport and protective packaging has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal, and can normally be recycled. Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the manufacturing process and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill sites. Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation. Disposing of your old appliance Electrical and electronic appliances often contain valuable materials. They also contain specific materials, compounds and components, which were essential for their correct function and safety. These could be hazardous to human health and to the environment if disposed of with your domestic waste or if handled incorrectly. Please do not, therefore, dispose of your old appliance with your household waste. Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre for electrical and electronic appliances. You are also responsible for deleting any personal data that may be stored on the appliance prior to disposal. Please ensure that your old appliance poses no risk to children while being stored prior to disposal. 20

30 Features Glass tray The glass tray is suitable for use with all cooking functions. The glass tray has a non-tip safety notch which prevents it being pulled right out when it only needs to be pulled our partially. When pushing the glass tray back in, always ensure that the safety notch is at the back of the oven (see illustration). Always use the glass tray when using the Microwave Solo function. Do not place items weighing more than 8 kg on it. Do not place the hot glass tray on a cold surface, such as a tiled or granite worktop. The glass tray could get damaged. Use a suitable heatresistant mat or pot rest. To remove the glass tray, lift it upwards slightly at the front when the safety notch connects with the sides of the oven. 30

31 Features Rack with non-tip safety notches The rack can be used with microwave combination programmes or with oven functions without microwave power. However, it is not suitable for use with the Microwave Solo function. Danger of burning! The rack gets hot when used with cooking programmes. Wear oven gloves when placing food in the oven or removing it and when adjusting oven shelves etc. in a hot oven. Do not use the rack with Microwave Solo. This could cause arcing which could damage the oven and the rack. Do not place the rack directly on the floor of the oven. Instead, use one of the oven shelves. Do not place items weighing more than 8 kg on the rack. To remove the rack, lift it upwards slightly at the front when the safety notches connect with the sides of the oven. We recommend using the rack together with the glass tray when cooking items on the rack which might drip. The rack has non-tip safety notches which prevent it being pulled right out when it only needs to be pulled out partially. When pushing the rack back in, always ensure that the safety notches are at the back of the oven (see illustration). 31

32 Features Food probe Using the food probe enables the temperature during the cooking process to be monitored simply and accurately (see "Roasting - Food probe"). Round baking tray HBF 27-1 Microwave functions can damage the round baking tray. Do not use the round baking tray with Microwave Solo or with Microwave combination programmes. HUB Gourmet oven dishes HBD Gourmet oven dish lids Gourmet oven dishes and their lids can suffer damage when subjected to microwaves.

Original Miele oven cleaner The Original Miele oven cleaner is suitable for removing very stubborn soiling. It is not necessary to pre-heat the oven beforehand. 33

34 Features Oven controls The oven controls are used to operate the various cooking functions for baking, roasting, grilling and heating. They are also used for: Time of day display Minute minder Switching cooking processes on and off automatically Automatic programmes the creation of User programmes, Settings that can be customised Oven safety features System lock The system lock prevents the oven from being used unintentionally (see "Settings - System lock"). The system lock will remain activated even after an interruption to the power supply. Sensor lock for the oven The sensor lock prevents the oven being switched off by accident or settings being altered whilst food is cooking. Once activated, the sensor lock deactivates the sensors and fields in the display a few seconds after a programme has been started (see "Settings Safety Sensor lock"). Cooling fan The cooling fan comes on automatically when a cooking programme is started. The cooling fan mixes hot air from the oven cavity with cool room air before venting it out into the kitchen through vents located between the appliance door and the control panel. The cooling fan will continue to run for a while after the oven has been switched off to prevent any humidity building up in the oven, on the control panel or in the oven housing unit. The cooling fan will switch itself off automatically after a certain period of time (see "Settings Cooling fan run on"). Safety switch-off A function without microwave can be started without selecting a cooking duration. To prevent overuse and the consequent danger of fire, the oven will switch itself off automatically after a certain length of time. This can be between 1 hour and 12 hours depending on the function and temperature chosen. If a Microwave combination programme is followed in quick succession by another programme using microwave power, the magnetron (which produces the microwaves) cannot be switched on again until approx. 10 seconds have elapsed. Therefore, wait a short while before starting the second process. 34

35 Features PerfectClean treated surfaces Surfaces treated with PerfectClean enamel are characterised by their exceptional non-stick properties and ease of cleaning. Food can be taken off easily, and soiling from baking and roasting is easy to remove. You can cut up food on surfaces treated with PerfectClean enamel. However, do not use ceramic knives as these will scratch the PerfectClean surface. Surfaces treated with PerfectClean enamel can be cleaned as you would clean glass. Read the instructions in "Cleaning and care" so that the benefits of the nonstick properties and easy cleaning are retained. The oven compartment and the rack have a PerfectClean finish. 35

55 Overview of functions Your oven has a range of functions for preparing a wide variety of recipes. Functions which do not use microwave energy Oven function Fan Plus This function is used for baking and roasting on different levels at the same time. A lower temperature can be selected than when using Conventional Heat as the fan distributes the heat around the oven compartment straight away. Auto Roast This is used for roasting. The oven heats initially to a high temperature (230 C) which seals the meat to keep it succulent and tasty. As soon as this temperature has been reached, the oven temperature automatically drops back down to the pre-selected temperature for continued roasting. Grill For grilling and toasting bread, open sandwiches etc. and browning baked dishes. The grill is ready for use when the entire top heat/grill element glows red. Fan Grill For grilling thicker cuts of meat (e.g. chicken). Lower temperatures can be used than when using the Grill function as the fan distributes the heat around the oven compartment straight away. Intensive Bake For baking cakes, tarts, pies, quiches and pizzas that require a crisper base and moist toppings. Intensive Bake is not suitable for baking thin biscuits or for roasting as the juices will become too dark. Recommended Temperature temperature range 160 C C 160 C C Setting 3 Setting C C 170 C C 55

56 Overview of functions Oven function Conventional Heat For baking and roasting traditional recipes, preparing soufflés and cooking at low temperatures. If using an older recipe or cookbook, set the oven temperature for Conventional Heat 10 C lower than that recommended. This won't change cooking times. Bottom Heat Use this function towards the end of cooking to reheat or brown the base of a cake, quiche or pizza. Gentle Bake Ideal for cooking bakes and gratins that need to be crispy on top. Recommended temperature Temperature range 180 C C 190 C C 190 C C Microwave function Oven function Microwave Solo This function is used to rapidly defrost, reheat and cook food. Recommended Power level power level range 1000 W W 56

57 Microwave combination programmes Overview of functions With Microwave combination programmes the heating element and the magnetron switch on and off alternating one after the other. The heating element browns the food and the magnetron helps it cook quickly. A maximum microwave power level of 300 W can be used with Microwave combination programmes. Oven function Microwave + Fan Plus For rapid reheating and cooking of food, browning it at the same time. This combination programme saves the most time and energy. When baking do not set the microwave power higher than 150 W. Microwave + Auto Roast This is used for searing at a high temperature and continued cooking at a lower temperature. During the searing phase the oven heats up to a high temperature (230 C) to seal the meat and keep it succulent and tasty. As soon as this temperature has been reached, the oven temperature automatically drops back down to the preselected temperature for continued roasting. The microwave function switches on to reduce the cooking duration. A microwave power level of maximum 300 W can be set for a Microwave combination programme. Recommended Temperature temperature range 160 C C 160 C C 57

58 Overview of functions Oven function Microwave + Grill For grilling and toasting bread, open sandwiches etc. and browning baked dishes. The grill is ready for use when the entire top heat/grill element glows red. The use of microwave power reduces the grilling time. A microwave power level of maximum 300 W can be set for a Microwave combination programme. Microwave + Fan Grill For grilling thicker cuts of meat (e.g. roulades, chicken). Lower temperatures can be used than when using the Microwave and Grill function, as the fan distributes the heat to the food straight away. The use of microwave power reduces the grilling time. A microwave power level of maximum 300 W can be set for a Microwave combination programme. Recommended Temperature temperature range Setting 3 Setting C C 58

59 Microwave power How the microwave function works In a microwave oven there is a highfrequency tube called a magnetron. This converts electrical energy into microwaves. These microwaves are distributed evenly throughout the oven interior, and rebound off the metal sides of the oven interior to reach the food from all sides. In order for microwaves to reach the food, they must be able to penetrate the cooking utensil being used. Microwaves can penetrate porcelain, glass, cardboard and plastics, but not metal. Do not, therefore, use utensils made of metal, or which contain metal, for example in the form of gold or silver trim. The metal reflects the microwaves and this could cause sparking as the microwaves cannot be absorbed. Microwaves pass through a suitable container and find their way directly into the food. All food contains moisture molecules which, when subjected to microwave energy, start to oscillate 2.5 billion times a second. The friction caused by this vibration creates heat, which first starts developing around the outside of the food and then slowly penetrates towards the centre. The moisture, fat and sugar content of food will affect the speed at which it is heated or cooked. The heat is generated in the food itself. Advantages Food can generally be cooked without adding much liquid or cooking oil. Cooking, reheating and defrosting is quicker than using conventional methods. Nutrients, such as vitamins and minerals, are generally retained. The colour, texture and taste of food are not significantly impaired. Microwaves stop being produced as soon as the cooking process is interrupted or the appliance door is opened. When the appliance is in operation, the closed, sealed door prevents microwaves escaping from the appliance. Microwave power The following power levels can be selected: 80 W, 150 W, 300 W, 450 W, 600 W, 850 W, 1000 W 59

60 Selecting containers for microwave use Fire hazard! Non-microwave safe dishes can suffer damage or damage the oven if used with Microwave Solo or Microwave combination programmes. Microwaves are reflected by metal. The material and shape of the containers used affect cooking results and times. Heat distribution is more even in round and oval shaped flat containers than in rectangular containers, providing better results. Suitable containers for microwave use They pass through glass, porcelain, plastic and cardboard. Glassware Heat-resistant glass or ceramic glass are ideal for use in the microwave oven. Exception: Do not use crystal glass as it contains lead which can crack or shatter with microwave power. Porcelain Porcelain is a suitable material. They are absorbed by food. Exception: Do not use porcelain with gold or silver edging, cobalt blue, or items with hollow knobs or handles, as insufficient ventilation may cause a build-up of pressure. Earthenware Decorated earthenware is only suitable if the decoration is beneath an all-over glaze. Danger of burning! Wear oven gloves when removing earthenware dishes from the oven. 60

61 Selecting containers for microwave use Plastics Plastic containers and plastic disposable containers may only be used with Microwave Solo if they have been declared as suitable for microwave use by the manufacturer. To protect the environment, it is best to avoid using single-use containers. Do not leave the oven unattended when reheating or cooking food in disposable containers made of plastic, paper or other inflammable materials. Plastics must be heat-resistant to a minimum of 110 C. Otherwise the plastic may melt and fuse with the food. Only use plastic containers in Microwave Solo programmes, not in combination programmes. Plastic microwave containers These are readily available from retail outlets. Styrofoam containers Styrofoam containers can be used for short, timed warming and reheating of food. Plastic "Boil-in-the-bag" bags Plastic boiling bags can be used for cooking and reheating. They should be pierced beforehand so that steam can escape. This prevents a build-up of pressure and reduces the risk of the bag bursting. There are also special steaming bags available which do not need to be pierced. Please follow instructions given on the packet. Roasting bags and tubes Please follow the manufacturer's instructions when using roasting bags and tubes. Fire hazard! Do not use metal clips, plastic clips containing metal parts, or paper ties containing wire. There is a danger that they will ignite when heated. Melamine containers Melamine is not suitable for use in this oven. Melamine absorbs microwave energy and gets hot. When purchasing plasticware, make sure that it is suitable for use in a microwave oven. 61

62 Selecting containers for microwave use Unsuitable containers for microwave use Dishes with hollow knobs or handles are not suitable for use with microwave power. Moisture which has gathered in the hollow recesses can cause pressure to build up and the item can explode. If the hollow recess is sufficiently ventilated, the item could be used. However, we recommend that you do not use such dishes in the oven. Metal Metal reflects microwaves and obstructs the cooking process. Do not use metal containers, aluminium, foil, metal cutlery and china with metallic decoration such as gold rims or cobalt blue with Microwave combination programmes. Do not use containers where the foil lid has not been completely removed as small pieces of foil can cause sparking. Exceptions: The rack supplied can be used with microwave combination programmes or with oven functions without microwave power. However, it is not suitable for use with the Microwave Solo function. Do not place the rack directly on the floor of the oven. Instead, use one of the oven shelves. Metal bakeware can be used with Microwave combination programmes. Ready meals in aluminium foil trays can be defrosted and reheated in the oven as long as the lid is removed. When using aluminium foil trays, there is a risk of arcing or sparks occurring in the oven. For this reason, place the foil tray on the glass tray and not on the rack. The foil tray must be positioned at least 2 cm away from the oven walls. It must not touch them. However, as food is only heated from the top, it is better to remove the food from the aluminium foil container and transfer it to a dish suitable for use in a microwave oven. The heat distribution will be more even. 62

63 Selecting containers for microwave use Aluminium foil pieces For even defrosting and to avoid overcooking unevenly shaped cuts of meat, poultry or fish, small pieces of aluminium foil may be used to mask wingtips or other thin parts for the last few minutes of the programme. Make sure that the aluminium foil is at least 2 cm from the oven walls at all times. It must not touch the walls. Metal meat skewers or clamps These should only be used if they are very small in comparison to the size of the cut of meat. Glazes and colours Some glazes and colours contain metal and are therefore unsuitable for microwave functions. Wood Wooden dishes are not suitable. Moisture contained in the wood evaporates when exposed to microwave energy, causing the wood to dry and crack. Testing dishes for their suitability If in doubt as to whether glass, earthenware or porcelain plates or dishes are suitable for use with microwave energy, a simple test can be performed: Place the empty container in the middle of the glass tray and slide the tray into shelf level 1. Close the door. Select Microwave Solo. Set the highest power level (1000 W) and a duration of 30 seconds. Confirm with OK and start the process. If a cracking noise is heard accompanied by sparks during the test, switch the appliance off immediately. Any crockery which causes this reaction is unsuitable for use with microwave power. If any doubt exists about the suitability of a container, please contact the supplier. This test cannot be used to check whether items with hollow knobs or handles are suitable for use with microwave power. 63

64 Selecting containers for microwave use Placing the dish in the oven Insert the glass tray on shelf level 1. The dish containing the food should always be placed in the middle of the glass tray. Cover The cover: prevents too much steam escaping, especially when cooking foods which need longer to cook, such as potatoes. speeds up the reheating process. prevents food from drying out. helps keep the oven interior clean. Placing the food directly on the floor of the oven would give unsatisfactory and uneven results as the microwaves would not be able to reach the food from below. When using Microwave Solo always cover the food with a lid or cover made of microwave safe glass or plastic. Suitable covers are available from retail outlets. Alternatively, use a clingfilm recommended for use in a microwave oven (pierce as instructed by the manufacturer). Heat can cause normal clingfilm to distort and fuse with the food. 64

65 Selecting containers for microwave use The cover can only withstand temperatures up to 110 C. Higher temperatures (e.g. those used for Grill and Fan Plus ) can cause the plastic to distort and fuse with the food. The cover should only be used with Microwave Solo. The cover should not form a seal with the container. If the cover is used with a container which only has a narrow diameter, there might not be enough room for condensation to escape through the holes in the side. The cover could get too hot and could start to melt. When reheating food, do not use a cover for: breaded food food which requires a crisp finish, e.g. toast food which you are reheating with a Microwave combination programme Pressure can build up when reheating in sealed containers, jars or bottles, causing them to explode. Do not cook or reheat food or liquids in sealed containers, jars or bottles using microwave power. Open containers beforehand and with baby bottles, the screw top and teat must be removed. 65

66 Tips on saving energy Remove any accessories from the oven that you do not require for cooking. Pre-heat the oven only if instructed to do so in the recipe or the cooking chart. If possible, do not open the door during a programme. If the door is opened during a programme that is not using microwave power, the heat in the oven automatically switches off. The fan continues to operate. As soon as the door is closed again, the programme will continue. In general, if a range of temperatures is given, it is best to select the lower temperature and to check the food after the shortest given time. Functions without microwave: It is best to use dark baking tins and containers with a matt finish made from non-reflective materials (enamelled steel, ovenproof glassware, non-stick coated cast aluminium). Shiny materials such as stainless steel or aluminium reflect heat, preventing it reaching the food efficiently. Do not cover the oven floor or the rack with heat-reflective aluminium foil. Monitor the cooking duration to avoid wasting energy when cooking. If possible, set a cooking duration or use a food probe. Use Fan plus as a lower temperature can be selected than with other functions, because the fan distributes the heat to the food straight away. Fan Grill can be used for a wide variety of food. With Fan Grill you can use lower temperatures than with other grill functions which use the maximum temperature setting. Whenever possible you should cook several dishes at the same time. Place them next to each other in the oven or on different shelf levels. Dishes which you are unable to prepare at the same time should, if possible, be cooked one after the other in order to make use of existing heat in the oven. Your oven will use as little energy as possible if you set the time of day display to Time Display Off. With the factory default setting Lighting On for 15 seconds the oven interior lighting switches off automatically after 15 seconds. It can be switched on again at any time by touching. 66

67 Tips on saving energy The oven heating will switch off automatically shortly before the end of a cooking process for which an automatic switch-off time has been set or which is using the food probe. Cooking continues using residual heat. The heat in the oven is sufficient to complete the cooking process. Energy save phase will appear in the display. The cooling fan and, depending on the function selected, also the hot air fan, remain switched on. The oven will switch itself off automatically to save energy if no other action is taken within a certain time frame after switching it on or after the end of a cooking programme. The time when this happens will depend on the selected settings (function, temperature and duration). 67

68 Functions without microwave power Basic operation Switch the oven on. The main menu will appear. Place the food in the oven. Select Oven functions. Select the function you want.

91 Baking Eating food which has been cooked correctly is important for preventing food poisoning or other ailments. Only bake cakes, pizza, chips etc. until they are golden brown. Do not overcook them. Oven functions Depending on how the food is prepared, you can use Fan Plus, Conventional Heat, Intensive Bake or MW + Fan Plus (see "Overview of functions"). MW + Fan Plus is particularly suitable for dough which requires longer baking, such as rubbed in, beaten mixtures and yeast recipes, because the cooking duration is shortened. During baking the microwave power level must not exceed 150 W. Bakeware The choice of bakeware depends on the oven function and how the food is prepared. Fan Plus, Intensive Bake : Bakeware made of any ovenproof material is suitable. Light-coloured, thin-walled, reflective metal tins can be used, but results may not be as good as with dark non-reflective tins. Conventional Heat : Dark metal, enamel or aluminium baking tins with a matt finish, as well as heat-resistant glass, ceramic and coated dishes can be used. Avoid bright, shiny metal tins as they result in uneven or poor browning, and in some cases cakes might not cook properly. MW + Fan Plus : Only use ovenproof dishes suitable for microwave use (see "Suitable containers for microwave use"), such as ovenproof glass or ceramic dishes as these allow microwaves through them. Metal containers reflect microwaves so food will only cook from above. Cooking durations would therefore be longer and metal tins could also cause sparking. Place the dish on the glass tray such that it cannot touch the oven walls. If the dish being used causes sparking, do not use it for combination cooking again. Baking paper Place chips, croquette potatoes and similar types of food on baking paper. 91

92 Baking Notes on using the baking charts In the charts the data for the recommended function is printed in bold. Unless otherwise stated, the times given are for an oven which has not been pre-heated. With a pre-heated oven, shorten times by up to 10 minutes. Temperature As a general rule, select a temperature in the middle of those given in the chart. Baking at temperatures higher than those recommended may reduce the cooking time, but will lead to uneven browning, and unsatisfactory cooking results. Baking duration Check if the food is cooked at the end of the shortest time quoted. To check if a cake is ready, insert a wooden skewer into the centre. It is ready if the skewer comes out clean, without dough or crumbs sticking to it. Conventional Heat Cakes in baking tins: Shelf level 1 Flat items (e.g. biscuits, tray bakes): Shelf level 2 Intensive bake As a general rule, use shelf level 1. MW + Fan Plus Insert the glass tray on shelf level 1 and place the baking container on it. Useful tips Set the cooking duration. When baking, the oven should not be set to start a long time off. Otherwise the cake mixture or dough will dry out, and the raising agents will lose their effectiveness. Place cakes in rectangular tins on the rack with the longer side across the width of the oven for optimum heat distribution and even results. Shelf levels The shelf level on which you place your food for baking depends on the oven function and number of trays being used. Fan Plus Cakes in baking tins: Shelf level 1 Flat items (e.g. biscuits, tray bakes): Shelf level 2 Baking on two levels at once (depending on the height of the items to be baked): Shelf levels 1+3 or shelf levels

97 Roasting Oven functions Fan Plus, Auto Roast For roasting meat, fish and poultry that needs to be well-browned. MW + Fan Plus, MW + Auto Roast The programme duration is shorter with these functions. The following microwave power levels should be used throughout roasting: For meat and fish: max. 300 W. For poultry: 150 W. This combination programme is not suitable for cooking delicate cuts of meat such as roast beef or fillet steak. The centre would be too well cooked before the exterior is browned. Cooking containers Please take into account the material of your cookware in your choice of oven function: Fan Plus / Auto Roast : Gourmet oven dishes, ovenproof ceramic dishes and glass dishes. Make sure that the dish and lid have heat-resistant handles. MW + Fan Plus / MW + Auto Roast : Dishes must be suitable for use in a microwave oven and must not have metal lids (see "Suitable containers for microwave use"). 97

98 Roasting Pot roasting We recommend roasting in covered oven dishes. Meat will be tender and there will be sufficient stock for making gravy. The oven also stays cleaner than when roasting on the rack. Season the meat and place it in the roasting dish. Dot with butter or margarine or brush with oil if necessary. For large lean cuts of meat (2 3 kg) and fatty poultry, add about 1/8 litre of water to the dish. When using a roasting bag, follow the manufacturer's instructions. Roasting on the rack Add a little fat or oil to very lean meat or place a few strips of streaky bacon on the top. Useful tips Browning: Browning only occurs towards the end of the roasting time. Remove the lid about halfway through the roasting time if a more intensive browning result is desired. Standing time: At the end of the programme, take the roast out of the oven, wrap in aluminium foil and leave to stand for about 10 minutes. This helps retain juices when the meat is carved. Roasting poultry: For a crisp skin, baste the poultry 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time with slightly salted water. Do not add too much liquid during cooking as this will hinder the browning process. 98

99 Roasting Notes on using the roasting charts Unless otherwise stated, the durations given are for an oven which has not been pre-heated. Please observe the temperature range, the microwave power level, the shelf levels and the durations. These also take the type of cooking container, the size of the meat and cooking practices into account. Temperature As a general rule, select a temperature in the middle of those given in the chart. If higher temperatures are used, the meat will brown on the outside, but will not be properly cooked through. For cuts which weigh more than 3 kg, select a temperature approx. 10 C lower than that given in the roasting chart. Roasting will take longer at the lower temperature, but will be more even. When roasting on the rack, set a temperature approx. 20 C lower than for roasting in a covered oven dish. Pre-heating Pre-heating is only required when roasting beef sirloin joints and fillets. Roasting duration The roasting time can be determined by multiplying the thickness of the roast [cm] with the time per cm [min./cm] stated below, depending on the type of meat: Beef/Venison: min./cm Pork/Veal/Lamb: min./cm Sirloin joints/fillets: 8 10 min./cm Check if the meat is cooked after the shortest time quoted.

102 Roasting Food probe The food probe enables the roasting process to be monitored simply and reliably. How the food probe works The metal tip of the food probe is inserted into the food. There is a temperature sensor in the metal tip which measures the core temperature of the food during cooking. The rise in the core temperature reflects the extent to which the food is cooked. You can programme the core temperature to be lower or higher, depending on whether you want your meat to be rare, medium or well-done. A core temperature of up to 99 C can be set. Please refer to the roasting chart and "Low temperature cooking" for the core temperatures applicable for different types of meat. The cooking time will be similar when cooking with or without the wireless food probe. When the food probe can be used Some Automatic programmes and Special applications will prompt you to use the food probe. You can also use it with your own User programmes and with the following functions: Auto Roast Fan Plus Conventional Heat Fan Grill Microwave MW + Auto Roast MW + Fan Plus MW + Fan Grill 102

103 Roasting Important notes about using the food probe Please note: You can place the meat in a pot, on the rack or in the glass tray, depending on the function selected. The metal tip of the food probe must be fully inserted into the centre of the food. When cooking poultry, insert the metal tip into the thickest part of the breast. You can find the thickest part of the breast by pressing the area with your thumb and index finger. Do not let the metal tip touch any bones or insert it into a particularly fatty area of the meat. If fat or bone come into contact with the probe, this can lead to the oven being switched off too early. If the meat is very heavily marbled with fat, select the highest core temperature given in the roasting chart. When using roasting bags or aluminium foil, insert the probe through the bag or foil into the centre of the meat. You can also place the meat, with the food probe inserted, inside the foil. Follow the roasting bag / aluminium foil manufacturer's instructions. Using the food probe Fully insert the metal tip of the food probe into the centre of the meat. Place the food in the oven. Plug the food probe into the connection socket so that it clicks into place. Close the door. Select the oven function or Automatic programme. Set the temperature or power level if necessary. Set the core temperature if necessary. The core temperatures cannot be changed for the Automatic programmes. 103

104 Roasting You can also delay the start of the cooking programme to a later time. Select the Start at option. In Automatic programmes select Start later. You can estimate approximately when the food will be ready as the duration of the cooking programme is about the same as if you were cooking food without using the food probe. You cannot enter a Duration or Finish at time, as the total cooking duration is determined by how long it takes for the core temperature to be reached. Time remaining display If the temperature set for a cooking process is above 140 C, the estimated time left for the cooking process will appear in the display after a short while. The time remaining is calculated from the cooking temperature selected, the required core temperature and the pattern of the increasing core temperature. The time remaining first shown is an estimate. As the cooking process continues, the time remaining is revised continuously, and a more accurate revised figure shown. Altering the cooking or core temperature or selecting a different function will delete the time left information. The time remaining will be recalculated if the door is kept open for a long period of time. Displaying the core temperature As soon as the time remaining appears, you can also display the actual core temperature. Select Change. Select Display core temperature. Select On. Confirm with OK. The actual core temperature will also appear in the display. 104

105 Roasting Using residual heat The heating in the oven switches off shortly before the end of the cooking programme. The residual heat in the oven is sufficient to complete the cooking process. Using the residual heat in the oven saves energy. Energy save phase will appear in the display to show that the oven is in energy save mode. The measured core temperature is no longer visible. The cooling fan continues to run, as does the hot air fan if a "fan" setting has been chosen. When the core temperature selected has been reached, Process finished appears in the display. a buzzer will sound if the buzzer is switched on (see "Settings - Volume - Buzzer tones"). Useful tip: If the food is not yet cooked sufficiently, insert the food probe into another place and repeat the programme. 105

106 Low temperature cooking This type of cooking is ideal for cooking beef, pork, veal or lamb when a tender result is required. First briefly sear the meat all over at a high temperature on the cooktop in order to seal it. Then place the meat in the pre-heated oven where the low temperature and long cooking duration will cook it to perfection and ensure it is very tender. The meat will relax and the juices inside will start to circulate evenly throughout the meat to reach the outer layers. This will give very tender and succulent results. Useful tips Use lean meat which has been correctly hung and trimmed. Bones should be removed before cooking. For searing, use a suitable cooking oil or fat that can withstand high temperatures (e.g. clarified butter). Do not cover meat during cooking. The cooking duration is approx. 2 4 hours and depends on the weight and size of the meat, as well as the desired degree of doneness and browning. Cooking duration/core temperatures Meat [min.] [ C] Fillet of beef Sirloin joint Rare Medium Well-done Pork fillet Gammon* Veal fillet Saddle of veal* Saddle of lamb* Duration Core temperature * Boned After cooking Meat can be carved straight from the oven. It does not need to rest. The cooking result will not be affected if the meat is left in the oven after the programme has finished. It can be kept warm until you serve it. The meat is at an ideal temperature to eat straight away. Serve on preheated plates with very hot sauce or gravy to prevent it cooling down too quickly. 106

107 Low temperature cooking Using the "Low temperature cooking" special application Use the glass tray with the rack placed on top of it. Select Special applications. Select Low temp. cooking. Set the required temperature. Set the core temperature. Follow the instructions in the display. Place the glass tray and rack in the oven for the pre-heating phase. While the oven is pre-heating, sear the meat on all sides on the cooktop. At the end of the programme, Process finished will appear in the display and a buzzer will sound if the buzzer is switched on (see "Settings Volume Buzzer tones"). If the meat is not cooked to your satisfaction, you can cook it for longer. Danger of burning! Wear oven gloves when placing food in the oven or removing it and when adjusting oven shelves etc. in a hot oven. As soon as Use the food probe appears in the display, place the seared meat on the rack and insert the metal tip of the food probe fully into the centre of the meat. Please also refer to the information in "Roasting - Food probe". Take care: the grill element in the oven will be hot. Danger of burning! Plug the food probe into the connection socket so that it clicks into place. Close the door. 107

108 Low temperature cooking Low temperature cooking - setting the temperature manually Use the glass tray with the rack placed on top of it. Do not use the Rapid Heat-up function to pre-heat the oven. Place the glass tray with the rack on top into the oven on shelf level 1. Select Oven functions. Select Conventional Heat and a temperature of 130 C. Switch off Rapid Heat-up by selecting Change Open further settings Rapid Heat-up Off. Pre-heat the oven together with the glass tray and the rack for approx. 15 minutes. While the oven is pre-heating, sear the meat on all sides on the cooktop. Danger of burning! Wear oven gloves when placing food in the oven or removing it and when adjusting oven shelves etc. in a hot oven. Place the seared meat on the rack. Select Change. Reduce the temperature to 100 C. Continue cooking until the end of the cooking duration. You can set the cooking process to finish automatically (see "Functions without microwave power - Setting the duration"). 108

109 Grilling Danger of burning! Grill with the oven door closed. If you grill with the door open, hot air will escape from the oven instead of being cooled by the cooling fan. The controls will get hot. Oven functions Grill For grilling and toasting bread, open sandwiches etc. and browning baked dishes. The whole of the top heat/grill element will get hot and glow red. Fan Grill For grilling thicker items, e.g. rolled meat, poultry pieces. The top heat/grill element and fan are switched on alternately. Cooking containers Grill on the rack. Brush the rack with oil, and place the food on it. It is best to grill food of a similar thickness at the same time so that the grilling duration for each item does not vary too greatly. Preparing food for grilling Rinse meat under cold running water and then pat dry. Do not season meat with salt before grilling as this draws the juices out. Add a little oil to lean meat if necessary. Do not use other types of fat as they can burn and cause smoke. Clean fish in the normal way. To enhance the flavour, add a little salt or squeeze a little lemon juice over the fish. MW + Grill, MW + Fan Grill The grilling duration is shorter. A microwave power level of maximum 300 W can be set for a Microwave combination programme. 109

110 Grilling Grilling Pre-heat the top heat/grill element for approx. 5 minutes with the door closed. Do not set a microwave power level during pre-heating. Place the food on the rack. Select a function, microwave power level and a grill setting for the Grill and MW + Grill functions. Select a function, microwave power level and a temperature for the Fan Grill and MW + Fan Grill functions. Danger of burning! Wear oven gloves when placing food in the oven or removing it and when adjusting oven shelves etc. in a hot oven. Place the food on the appropriate shelf level (see Fan Grilling guide). Close the door. Turn the food halfway through grilling if you want both sides to be brown. Notes on the grilling chart Check the food after the shortest time quoted. Take note of the temperature range, the shelf levels and the durations. These take the size of the meat and cooking practices into account. Grill setting (Grill, MW + Grill ) Setting 3: Thinner foods are cooked quickly when placed close to the grill element on this setting. Setting 2: For a lighter, golden finish, e.g. on gratins and bakes. Setting 1: Thicker foods should be grilled further from the grill on this setting. Temperature (Fan Grill, MW + Fan Grill ) As a general rule, select the lower temperature given in the chart. If higher temperatures are used, the meat will brown on the outside but will not be properly cooked through. Thin cuts can generally be grilled at 220 C, thicker cuts at C. 110

111 Grilling Pre-heating Always pre-heat the top heat/grill element for approx. 5 minutes with the door closed. Do not set a microwave power level during pre-heating. Shelf levels Grill, MW + Grill : Use shelf level 2 or 3 depending on the height of the food. Fan Grill, MW + Fan Grill : Use shelf level 1 or 2 depending on the height of the food. Grilling duration Flat pieces of fish and meat usually take 6 8 minutes per side. It is best to grill food of a similar thickness at the same time so that the grilling duration for each item does not vary too greatly. Thicker pieces need about 7 9 minutes. With rolled meat, allow approx. 10 minutes per cm diameter. Testing to see if cooked One way of finding out how far through a piece of meat has been cooked is to press down on it with a spoon: Rare: If there is very little resistance to the pressure of the spoon, it will still be red on the inside. Medium: If there is some resistance, the inside will be pink Well-done: If there is great resistance, it is cooked through. Check if the meat is cooked after the shortest time quoted. Useful tip: If the surface of thicker cuts of meat is cooked but the centre is still raw, continue grilling at a lower temperature setting or use a lower shelf level to allow the food to cook through to the centre. 111

112 Grilling Fan Grill Use the Fan Grill function for meat, fish, poultry and vegetables. Always pre-heat for at least 5 minutes before Fan Grilling. It is not necessary to turn food when Fan Grilling. Only one side of the food, however, will become brown. The door must be closed when using Fan Grill. When using red meat, pat the meat dry before Fan Grilling as this encourages a richer colour. Ovens with the Crisp function: Activate the Crisp function (moisture reduction) at the beginning of the Fan Grill function. This is great for items that are moist on the inside and should be crispy on the outside. All temperatures are approximations and must be varied according to the thickness and preparation of the meat. The chart below is a suggested guide only. Personal taste and size of serves will vary times and temperatures. We recommend you monitor cooking results for best outcomes. 112

113 Grilling Food to be grilled [ C] [min.] Lean thin sausages Thick sausages Lean beef fillet steak Chicken breast fillet Whole butterflied chicken Thin white fish fillets Thick fish fillets, cutlets or steaks Oily fish Lamb loin chops Lamb back straps Vegetables, capsicum, zucchini, sweet potato, eggplant Potato wedges or small roast potatoes Kebabs and satays (red meat) Chicken satays Temperature / Shelf level / Duration Fan Grill can be used for small roasts but is only recommended for lean, tender cuts of meat, e.g. lamb racks, rump roasts, and beef fillet. Fan Grill the roast at 200 C on shelf level 3 for approximately 25 minutes, depending on thickness. 113

114 Grilling Grill Use for thick toasts, muffins, cheese on toast, focaccia, bruschetta and bacon. Pre-heat grill for at least 5 minutes at C. Select the appropriate shelf level for the thickness of the food. The door must be closed when using the Grill function. This is a suggested guide only. Personal taste and size of serves will vary times and temperatures. 114

Meals which need to be browned, e.g. gratins Microwave Solo/Microwave power level / MW + Auto Roast / MW + Fan Plus / Temperature The duration required depends largely on the nature of the food, the amount and its initial temperature. Food that has been refrigerated, for example, takes longer to reheat than food at room temperature. Please refer to the relevant charts. 115

116 Microwave: Defrost/Reheat/Cook Before defrosting, reheating and cooking Place food (including frozen) in a dish that is suitable for microwave use, and cover it. Place the dish in the middle of the glass tray on shelf level 1. During the defrosting, reheating and cooking process Turn or stir the food several times. Stir the food from the outside towards the middle, as food heats more quickly from the outside. The food probe can be used to monitor the temperature when reheating or cooking (see "Roasting - Food probe"). With Microwave combination programmes Only use heat-resistant containers which are microwave safe. A lid is not usually required. Never use a lid with MW + Auto Roast and MW + Grill as the food will not brown. Place the glass tray on shelf level 2. Place ready-meals in aluminium foil dishes on the glass tray. 116

117 Microwave: Defrost/Reheat/Cook After defrosting, reheating and cooking During the standing time the temperature is distributed evenly in the food. Allow the food to stand at room temperature for a few minutes to enable the heat to spread evenly throughout the food. Use the food probe to monitor the temperature when reheating or cooking (see "Roasting - Food probe" in the operating): Fish: minimum 70 C Poultry: minimum 85 C Danger of burning! After reheating food, especially food for babies and small children, stir the food or shake the container and check that the temperature does not pose any danger. Double check after it has been left to stand. Danger of burning! Danger of burning! Be careful when removing dishes from the appliance. Although heat is not normally produced in the container itself by the microwaves (apart from stoneware), heat transfer from the food to the container may be considerable, making the container itself hot. Wear oven gloves when removing dishes from the oven. Always ensure that food is sufficiently cooked or reheated. If in any doubt that a sufficiently high temperature has been reached, continue cooking or reheating for a little longer. It is very important to make sure that food which goes off easily, such as fish, poultry and minced meat is cooked sufficiently. 117

118 Microwave: Defrost/Reheat/Cook Tips on reheating Danger of burning! Food for babies and children must not be too hot. We do not recommend heating or reheating food or drinks for babies or young children in the microwave oven. Any decision to do this is the responsibility of the user, and should only be done with the utmost care. Pasteurised or sterilised cooked food should be gently heated for seconds at 450 W, and tasted to make sure it is not too hot for a baby's palate before serving. The food probe can also be used for temperature-controlled reheating of food. Pressure can build up when reheating in sealed containers, jars or bottles, causing them to explode. Do not cook or reheat food or liquids in sealed containers, jars or bottles. With baby bottles, the screw top and teat must be removed. When boiling and in particular when reheating liquids using microwave power, the boiling point of the liquid may be reached without the production of typical bubbles. The liquid does not boil evenly throughout. This so-called 'boiling delay' can cause a sudden build up of bubbles when the container is removed from the oven or shaken. This can lead to the liquid boiling over suddenly and explosively. The formation of bubbles can be so strong that the pressure forces the oven door open. To avoid this, always wait a minimum of 20 seconds before removing the container from the oven and place a suitable glass rod or utensil into the cup or glass when heating liquids. Eggs can explode when using microwave power. Never reheat hard boiled eggs using the Microwave function even without the shell. 118

119 Microwave: Defrost/Reheat/Cook Tips on cooking Food with a thick skin or peel, such as tomatoes, sausages, jacket potatoes and eggplants may explode when cooking or reheating with microwave power. They should be pierced or cut in several places to allow steam to escape and prevent the food from bursting. Eggs can burst, even after they have been taken out of the oven. Eggs can only be cooked in their shells using Microwave Solo in a specially designed egg-boiling device. If you cook eggs without their shells using microwave power, the yolks could explode due to the resulting pressure. Puncture the skin of the egg yolk several times before cooking. 119

120 Microwave: Defrost/Reheat/Cook Use Defrosting large quantities of food at once, e.g. 2 kg fish Reheating food Cooking vegetables Cooking frozen readymeals Notes The glass tray can be used on shelf level 1 for defrosting food. Always cover food when reheating it, except when reheating meat/fish coated in breadcrumbs. Add a little water to vegetables which have been kept stored. Vegetable cooking times depend on the texture of the vegetable. Fresh vegetables contain more water than vegetables which have been stored and usually cook more quickly. Deep frozen, ready-made meals can be defrosted and then reheated or cooked in one process. Follow the instructions on the packet. Charts for defrosting, reheating and cooking food using Microwave Solo The following notes apply to all charts: Take note of the recommended microwave power levels, durations and standing times. These take the consistency, the quantity and the initial temperature of the food into account. You are generally advised to select a duration in the middle of those given in the chart. Place the food on the glass tray and use shelf level

Useful tip: This oven offers Automatic programmes for some Frozen food/ Ready meals (see "Automatic programmes"). 134

135 Cleaning and care Danger of burning! Make sure the oven heating elements are switched off and that the oven cavity is cool. Danger of injury! The steam from a steam cleaning appliance could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit. Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the oven. All surfaces can become discoloured or damaged if unsuitable cleaning agents are used. The front of the oven, in particular, will be damaged by oven cleaners. All surfaces are susceptible to scratching. Scratches on glass surfaces may cause a breakage. Remove any cleaning agent residues immediately. Stubborn soiling could damage the oven in certain circumstances. Clean the oven interior, inside of the door and door seal as soon as the oven has cooled down. Waiting too long can make cleaning unnecessarily difficult and in some cases impossible. Check the door and door seal for any sign of damage. If any damage is noticed, the oven should not be used again in any oven function using microwave power until the fault has been rectified by a service technician. Unsuitable cleaning agents To avoid damaging the surfaces of your appliance, do not use: cleaning agents containing soda, ammonia, acids or chlorides, cleaning agents containing descaling agents on the oven front, abrasive cleaning agents, e.g. powder cleaners and cream cleaners, solvent-based cleaning agents, stainless steel cleaning agents, dishwasher cleaner, glass cleaning agents, cleaning agents for ceramic cooktops, hard, abrasive brushes or sponges, e.g. pot scourers, brushes or sponges which have been previously used with abrasive cleaning agents, dirt erasers, sharp metal tools, steel wool or metal scourers, stainless steel spiral pads, selective cleaning with mechanical cleaning agents, oven cleaner. * * This can, however, be used to remove very heavy soiling from PerfectClean treated surfaces. 135

136 Cleaning and care If soiling is left for a long time, it might become impossible to remove. Continued use without regular cleaning will make the oven much harder to clean. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surfaces that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and result in a hazardous situation. Remove any soiling immediately. Only the glass tray is dishwasher proof. Useful tips Soiling caused by spilt juices and cake mixtures is best removed whilst the oven is still warm. Exercise caution and make sure the oven is not too hot - danger of burning. The top heat/grill element can be lowered to make it easier to clean the oven. To neutralise odours in the oven, put a container of water with some lemon juice in the oven and heat for a few minutes. Normal soiling Moisture inside the oven can cause damage. Do not use too much water on the cloth or sponge and do not let water or any other substance find its way into any openings. It is best to remove normal soiling immediately using a clean sponge and a solution of hot water and washing-up liquid, or with a clean, damp microfibre cloth. After cleaning, make sure all residual cleaning agents are thoroughly removed with clean water. This is particularly important when cleaning surfaces treated with PerfectClean enamel as cleaning agent residues can impair the non-stick properties. After cleaning, wipe the surfaces dry using a soft cloth. Food probe Do not put the food probe into water or clean it in the dishwasher as this will damage it. Clean the food probe with a damp towel only. 136

137 Cleaning and care Stubborn soiling Spilt fruit and roasting juices may cause lasting discolouration or matt patches on enamelled surfaces. This discolouration is permanent but will not affect the efficiency of the finish. Do not try to remove this discolouration. Clean these following the instructions given here. Moisten stubborn soiling with a solution of hot water and washing-up liquid and leave for a few minutes to take effect. If necessary, the scouring pad on the back of a non-scratching washing-up sponge can be used to remove the soiling. After cleaning, rinse thoroughly with clean water, and dry with a soft cloth. Very stubborn soiling on PerfectClean treated enamel can be cleaned using the Original Miele oven cleaner. It must be applied to surfaces when cold. Follow the instructions on the packaging. Non-Miele oven spray must only be used in a cold oven and for no longer than a maximum of 10 minutes. If necessary, the scouring pad on the back of a non-scratching washing-up sponge can be used to remove the soiling. After cleaning, remove all oven cleaning agent residues thoroughly with clean water, and dry with a soft cloth. 137

138 Cleaning and care Lowering the top heat/grill element If the oven interior roof is badly soiled, the top heat/grill element can be lowered to make cleaning easier. The oven ceiling should be cleaned regularly with a damp cloth or sponge. The top heat/grill element can get damaged. Do not use force to lower the top heat/grill element. Danger of burning! Make sure the oven heating elements are switched off and that the oven cavity is cool. Carefully lower the top heat/grill element. The mica sheet can be damaged on the top of the oven cavity. Do not use the rough side of a sponge to clean the top of the oven cavity. To lower the top heat/grill element, the nut needs to be unscrewed. Clean the roof of the oven with a damp cloth or a soft dishwashing sponge. After cleaning, raise the top heat/grill element gently back up again. Refit the nut and tighten to secure the element back in position. 138

139 Problem solving guide With the aid of the following guide, minor problems can be easily corrected without contacting Miele. If, after reading this guide, you can't remedy the problem yourself, please call Miele (see back cover for details). Please note, however, that a call-out charge will be applied to unnecessary service visits where the problem could have been rectified as described in these operating instructions. Danger of injury! Installation, maintenance and repairs must only be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. Miele cannot be held liable for unauthorised work. Do not attempt to open the casing of the appliance yourself. Problem The display is dark. A programme will not start. Possible cause and remedy The time of day display is deactivated, so when the appliance is switched off, the time of day display is switched off. As soon as the oven is switched on, the time of day will appear. If you want it to be displayed constantly, the setting to switch the time of day display back on must be changed (see "Settings Time of day - Display"). There is no power to the oven. Check whether the mains circuit breaker has tripped. If it has, contact a qualified electrician or Miele. If you are cooking with microwave power, the door may be open. Check whether the door is closed properly. If you are cooking with microwave power, the power level or duration is not selected. Check whether a microwave power level and a duration have been selected. If you are cooking using a microwave combination programme, not all of the required settings have been entered. Check whether you have entered a microwave power level, a duration and a temperature. 139

140 Problem solving guide Problem System lock appears in the display when the oven is switched on. The oven does not heat up. Power cut - process cancelled appears in the display. 12:00 appears in the display. Maximum operating hours reached appears in the display. Fault XX appears in the display. You cannot set the core temperature. If the door is opened whilst using Microwave Solo, the oven stops making a noise. A noise can be heard after a cooking process. 140 Possible cause and remedy The system lock has been switched on. It can be released for a programme to be run by touching the symbol for at least 6 seconds. The system lock can be permanently deactivated (see "Settings System lock "). Demo mode has been activated. The oven can be operated but does not heat up. You need to deactivate the Demo mode (see "Settings - Showroom programme" ). There has been a power cut which has caused a current cooking process to stop. Switch the oven off and then back on again. Start the programme again. The power supply was interrupted for longer than 200 hours. Reset the time and date. The oven has been operating for an unusually long time and this has activated the safety switch-off function. Confirm by touching OK. Touch to delete the message Process finished. The oven is now ready to use. There is a problem that you cannot resolve. Call Miele. The food probe is not recognised by the oven. Check whether the food probe is correctly plugged into the connection socket. If the oven still does not recognise the food probe, it must be faulty. A replacement food probe can be ordered from Miele. This is not a fault. If Microwave Solo is being used, the door contact switch will switch off microwave power and reduce the speed of the cooling fan when the door is opened. The fan remains switched on after a cooking programme (see "Settings - Cooling fan run-on").

141 Problem solving guide Problem An abnormal sound can be heard when the oven is operating in microwave mode. The oven has switched itself off. Cakes and biscuits are not baked properly after following the times given in the baking chart. Browning is uneven. Possible cause and remedy A metal dish has been used during a cooking programme using microwave power. Check if there are sparks caused by using metal dishes (see "Suitable containers for microwave use"). Check if the food is covered with aluminium foil. If it is, remove the foil. Check if the rack is inside the oven. Always use the glass tray when using the oven with microwave power. The oven will switch itself off automatically to save energy if no other action is taken within a certain time frame after switching it on or after the end of a cooking programme. Switch the oven back on. A different temperature from the one given in the recipe was used. Select the temperature required for the recipe. The ingredient quantities are different from those given in the recipe. Check whether there has been a change to the recipe. The addition of more liquid or more eggs makes a moister mix which would take longer to cook. The wrong temperature or shelf level was selected. There will always be a slight unevenness. If the unevenness is pronounced, check whether the correct temperature and shelf level have been selected. The material or colour of the baking tin was not suited to the oven function. Bright, shiny tins are not very suitable. Try using a different tin next time. These reflect heat, which means that the heat does not penetrate to the food effectively, resulting in uneven or poor browning. Dark, matt tins are best for baking. 141

142 Problem solving guide Problem The food is not sufficiently heated or is not cooked at the end of a set duration when using microwave power. Food has cooled down too quickly after being reheated or cooked in microwave mode. The oven lighting switches off after a short time. Possible cause and remedy The oven was not restarted after interrupting a cooking process using microwave power. Restart the programme to ensure the food is heated or cooked properly. When cooking or heating with microwave power, the time set was too short. Check that the correct duration is selected for the microwave power level. The lower the microwave power level the longer the cooking duration. Microwaves cause food to heat from the outside first. This heat then moves towards the middle of the food. If food is cooked at a high power level it is possible that the heat may not have reached the centre of the food. Food may be hot on the outside but cool in the middle. During the standing time the food in the middle will become warmer and that on the outside will become cooler. When reheating food with different densities, such as with menu cooking, it is sensible to start with a low power level and select a longer reheating duration. The oven lighting is set to switch off after 15 seconds (default setting). You can change the default setting for this (see "Settings - Lighting"). 142

143 Problem solving guide Problem The oven lighting does not switch on. Possible cause and remedy The halogen lamp needs replacing. Danger of burning! Make sure the oven heating elements are switched off and that the oven cavity is cool. The lamp cover consists of two parts: a glass piece and a mounting. It may be damaged if it is dropped. Hold the lamp cover securely when removing it so that it does not fall. Place a tea towel over the floor of the oven and the open door to protect them. Disconnect the appliance from the mains. Switch off at the wall and withdraw the plug from the socket, or switch off at the mains circuit breaker. Remove the screw to the lamp cover using a T20 Torx screwdriver, and take off the cover. Do not touch the halogen lamp with bare fingers. Please follow the manufacturer's instructions. Pull the halogen lamp out. Replace it with a new halogen lamp (Osram AM/A, 230 V, 25 W, G9). It must be thermally stable up to 300 C. Replace the glass piece in the mounting, and refit the lamp cover. Make sure that the lug on the mounting is correctly located in the notch in the roof of the oven, then screw the mounting back into place. Reconnect the oven to the electricity supply. 143

145 Electrical connection Danger of injury! All electrical work must be undertaken by a suitably qualified and competent person in strict accordance with current national and local safety and building code regulations. Installation, repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. Miele cannot be held liable for unauthorised work. Ensure power is not supplied to the appliance until after installation or repair work has been carried out. The appliance is supplied with a mains connection cable for connection to AC 50 Hz, 230 V. The fuse rating must be at least 16 A. Connection should be made via a suitable isolator which complies with national and local safety regulations. For extra safety, it is advisable to protect the appliance with a suitable residual current device (RCD) with a trip current of 30 ma. Connection to a switched socket is recommended as this provides easier access in the case of a service call. If the switch is not accessible after installation, an additional means of disconnection must be provided for all poles. The means of disconnection must be incorporated in the fixed wiring in accordance with the wiring rules. When switched off there must be an allpole contact gap of 3 mm in the isolator switch (including switch, fuses and relays). AC 230V, 50 Hz The voltage and rated load are given on the data plate situated at the front of the oven frame visible with the oven door open. Please ensure the connection data matches the household supply. If the connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced by a suitably qualified electrician with a specialist connection cable of type H 05 VV-F, available from Miele, to avoid a hazard.
